We do not succeed, write how you did that you did it?
[HTC Desire S] tankos:
1. Full Wipe

2. Flash nk111's ROM

3. Flash GAPPS from post 1.

4. Flash nk111's Facelock App

5. Goto System Settings -->Security -->lockscreen and set up Face Unlock

Worked 1st time for me... :)
[HTC Desire S] microlah:
The front camera is working well in the camera app. But since there is no preview, it's pretty hard to set it up initially, still trying.
[HTC Desire S] tankos:
Try positioning your face in the middle of the screen using the camera app then go to set up facelock without moving the phone (or your face!) - that's how I did it... :)
[HTC Desire S] microlah:
Thats what I was doing, tried like 8 times and finally got it working.
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
So, the front camera and face unlock seem nice, but the lack of features in comparison to Virtuous Quattro drive away. The biggest thing is Quattro Control, and since it's kanged from AOKP, i believe CM team can add that too. There's lockscreen customization (quad/octo shortcuts) the toggles are fabulous, you can customize the battery etc.

CM is faster than Quattro, but it's too stock for now.
[HTC Desire S] albertjh:
Downloaded and installed the new rom.

Sofar everything seems ok.

Any problems will be reported.
[HTC Desire S] nk111:
Just have a look in settings. CM tweaks will be integrated in normal settings. Most things now are just placeholders but I can say that I see a lot of changesets dealing with settings in CM code review. Expect this to get more and more functional.

---------- Post added at 05:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:56 PM ----------

by the way...

use this link to see what's in the CM pipeline and this link to see what's been merged recently...
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Thanks for that :) I have the link to CM7 nightly changes, but not CM9. I'll keep an eye on that. I'm sure that since CM has to support a long list of devices, and they have a long list of issues, you guys would want to fix issues before adding tweaks. As i said, CM is faster :D
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Are you guys getting camera preview from start? Because from what I read here you get a blank/black screen instead. What is strange is that I've fleshed it with full wipe (full wipe EXT4 partitions without SDCARD) and I got camera preview working both on back/front cameras from start. No distorsion and no other issues. I've flashed now gapps, let's see what happens with that face-unlock and if I can make skype video calls (which is the main reason for which I want the front camera)

Hmmm...very strange. I flashed twice the gapps linked in nk111 post and there's nothing. No gapps, no option to add a Google account. What could be the problem? Should I try first to flash the gapps linked in OP then the ones here?

Later edit: Yes, this seems to work.

So:

1. Flash ROM, flash gapps provided by nk111 - NO WORK.

2. Flash ROM, flash gapps from the OP, flash gapps provided by nk111 - WORKS.

Unfortunately skype video call doesn't work. Also I've found that phone is getting hotter under same OC settings (1305.6)
[HTC Desire S] Zokormazo:
Yep, nk111's gapps is just an update for gapps from first post. flash rom, flash gapps from page1, flash nk111's gapps
[HTC Desire S] microlah:
Preview works for the camera app, it just doesn't work for facial unlock.
[HTC Desire S] nk111:
I really tried to make my post as clear as possible... but it seems impossible to satisfy all needs ;)

The preview in cam app works! You'll just see no picture in face unlock.

And it can happen that the cam will fc after an reboot when front cam was active before the boot. In that case clear cam data.

Also the face unlock will not work directly after reboot. You have to login once and start the cam. From then it will work.

The gapps I linked do only include the face unlock app and libs! If you already have gapps installed flash this on top. If not then flash the gapps from first post and THEN my linked package.
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
But the taken pictures are still distorted. Or is this issue fixed right now? Didn't flash the latest update yet..
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Congratulations for the progress!

But still a lot of bugs and missing features.

Can't wait for a RC or a beta at least :)
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Yes, thanks for clarifications. I've sorted out myself finally. Unfortunately skype video does not work so I have to wait till camera works better
[HTC Desire S] nk111:
Never tried Skype or other video chats. What exactly happens?

@all: please try to give detailed error reports. If possible together with a logcat or something... thanks
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Nothing. So When initiating a skype video call, the phone waits in the call screen with message "Initializing video", stays like this for several secs, then call drops. If the other party tries to answer without video (that is, I don't see the other party but he can see me), skype just close itself without any warning or message
[HTC Desire S] Nexx:
Could well be because the camcorder isn't working right now, nor is the hardware accelerated video encoding or decoding.
[HTC Desire S] Airpil:
Rapier, are you sure that Skype (Microsoft) are officially supports video calls for Desire S with Android v4.0.3 installed ???? I didn't found any information about this.

nx111, great work and great ROM. Unfortunately I can't check face lock because of security reasons ( I can't install gapps on my phone). But I wants to say that this version is extremely fast comparing with previous one. This is the best ics firmware which I ever tested.

It is so fast "It's unbelievably" ©
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Didn't know that Skype = Microsoft. It was working on GB, any ROM I had so I doubt it won't be working in ICS. I think Nexx is right, could be due to the camcorder part of the camera not about capability of taking photos...but I was hoping it'll work. I also made a search and indeed there is nothing related to Skype video calls on ICS...hope is not an ICS problem. At least when HTC will release official ROM on ICS we will know for sure. Let's see what happens till then
[HTC Desire S] nk111:
if you don't want gapps but just face unlock you can just install my linked package. As I said its face unlock only!

without a working cam, regrettably no choice for me. but well done nexx! keep on workin' ;)
[HTC Desire S] Nexx:
New build uploading:

Fixed:

Home touch-button not working correctly

GMail rendering issues

su causes kernel panic and reboot
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Thanks for the support. It is nice to see team play here
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
So every bug reported today is fixed already? Great speed nexx :D
[HTC Desire S] Nexx:
Yup, though I've stumbled upon another browser bug =\

I'll get a working build uploaded ASAP, sorry about this.
[HTC Desire S] korenisko:
Installed it.

New kernel is req.

Isnt touch buttons vibrations too low?

On lockscreen "menu" button unlocks phone. Its ok?

Happy to see cm9 :) thx

EDIT:

There in settings, I havent CM menu. There it isnt?
[HTC Desire S] Nexx:
Quick update. We're working on the browser issue, it's affecting other CM9 devices as well. Unfortunately the root cause still needs to be discovered.

It's unlikely it'll be fixed today, but we are working on it =)

I'll get a new build up ASAP when the browser is fixed.

Once again, sorry for the delay, much has changed since Gingerbread >.<
[HTC Desire S] nk111:
No! Please leave it this way! I've always been searching for a way to lower the vibration duration. You now can change it for the keyboard in settings but not for the soft keys. So I'm glad they are low by default ;)
[HTC Desire S] korenisko:
and build with fixed todays bugs?
[HTC Desire S] chubby65:
you've nothing to be sorry about m8 your doing a great job:)
[HTC Desire S] e2zippo:
Amazing Nexx, you have nothing to be sorry about. Take your time! The fact that you managed to fix the other bugs so quickly is great.

How and where do I donate? Edit: Nevermind that, i saw the link in your signature, money on the way!

Cheers!
[HTC Desire S] tankos:
Nexx, Just wanted to say you're doing a fantastic job - appreciate the hard work...

Have a couple of beers on me! :-)
[HTC Desire S] faddys123:
what the difference between this and virtous?
[HTC Desire S] nk111:
Virtuos is a bit more "clean" aosp while this one has some cm features. These features will improve when cm9 gets more stable. At the moment the difference is not so big between the two. But since this is the first public cm9 saga release its bit more buggy than the virtuos which had several betas before.
[HTC Desire S] djsubtronic:
Quick question: as this is CyanogenMod, does it have the CM specific features such as power widget in the notification drop down, and changing of tracks via long press of volume keys, as these are the main functions preventing me from making the move to ICS?
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
I didn't install it yet, but I have tested another ROM by proxuser that used parts of CM...and in that ROM power notification was present and configurable. I'm sure this has it as well since this IS CM9. Dunno about music controls via volume keys cause I don't use them

Why don't you try for yourself, make a backup and flash it...you'll get addicted to ICS very quickly

Sent from nowhere, over the air...
[HTC Desire S] djsubtronic:
Yeah doing that now. I have been dying to switch to ICS for ages, I started playing with it since the first alphas came out by superkid, but lack of CM features made it impossible for me to use it as a daily rom as I am too used to them... :(

---------- Post added at 04:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:00 AM ----------

Ok... I the download in the original post does not include the home/su bug fixes.

Power widget in the notification pulldown is present but not customizable. At the moment CM menu limited only to a few Trebuchet settings, so, for me at the moment it's back to CM7.

But good work to Nexx, mdeejay, superkid, prox user, and everyone else involved.

Counting the days now to when I can use CM9 with everything working!
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Check if there is an application called CM Settings or something in the application list/drawer. On the ROM I've tested, the settings for CM were not incorporated in the general settings menu as we were used with previous CM builds. It was a separate application having several tabs. On one of those it was the setup for power notification widget (also settings for the custom light levels and other tweaks)...customize the buttons, rearrange them and so on...
[HTC Desire S] x8h8kenan:
@Dear Nexx, why the kernal is still 2.6.35.14? Can't the kernal for saga be update to 3.0.8?
[HTC Desire S] KanocX:
I mirrored the gapps-facelock file to nexxs folder... The download speed of goo-inside.me is terrible...

[HTC Desire S] ramiro.f:
I have a transformer prime running ICS and Skype works fine, although the device is not officially supported as yet. So I doubt there is any incompatibility between ICS and Skype, once the camera is working properly, it will work
[HTC Desire S] Airpil:
Russian T9

New rom is good, but

in previous version i replaced Contakts.apk with another one which have russian t9.

But in this rom i can't do this, it doesn't work. What can be the problem :confused:
[HTC Desire S] nk111:
What exactly doesn't work?
[HTC Desire S] Airpil:
***************************

Sorry

it was my mistake, zip file which i installed was damaged. Now it works well.

Zip file which i attached before is OK.
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Do you have any source/link to a guide how to make this for other languages? Also do you have English and Russian combined or only Russian T9?

***********************************************

To the devs: my language is missing from the Keyboard languages on CM9 (but the menu is localized) Is this Google miss or changes to the Keyboard were made?
[HTC Desire S] nk111:
What language?
[HTC Desire S] microlah:
Chinese inputs are also missing, not sure whether it is an ICS problem or the ROM problem.

Gingerbread used to have them.
[HTC Desire S] Airpil:
Attached ZIP file contain English\Russian T9 dialer for ICS. I downloaded it from 4pda.ru and i don't know who is developer of this file )
[HTC Desire S] BeDesireS:
Great work nk111! :)

The front cam works fine for me now and also the normal cam is working much better!

But my voice search stopped working after I flashed you update!?

When I activate it, the search box shows up directly with the message "audio problem"!

Any suggestion?
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
As nobody answered my question, I just tried myself. And - hey

The picture distortion is gone!

Great :-)
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Sorry :)

My language is Bulgarian.

If my memory recalls right it was present on VQ but I am not sure, because have used a custom keyboard
[HTC Desire S] enomis27:
ok I'll try to be as clear as possible :D I want to try this rom but I come from Virtuous Quattro...now I want to flash nk111 last release...should I flash the "experimental camera package" in the OP too?

EDIT: I'll wipe everything of course :D
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
I did flash it too and my camera works pretty well.

But a face unlock without any preview is really strange :-)

You can find an exactly order how to flash all those files in this thread
[HTC Desire S] nk111:
You sure? Because we didn't fix it yet

Must be some kind of self healing then... :D
[HTC Desire S] nk111:
Battery style

another early pick from CM...

flash attached zip and enjoy working battery style settings :D
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
Well in my job good eyes are necessary. And I can tell you for sure that the picture is not distorted anymore :-)

Battery?? Let's see if it works.. ;-)
[HTC Desire S] robba16296:
Hi, I'm just wondering, can I flash this over quattro or do I need full wipe. Also I would like to know if you can restore quattro data??

Sent from my HTC Desire S
[HTC Desire S] nk111:
Well in the early stages of the two ROMs you could swap fromone to another without full wipe. But when I last tried this something went wrong. So I'd suggest a full wipe. Make a nandroid backup to be able to get back. And store your apps data with titanium backup. Then you can restore them in CM.
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
Well, changing batt style works. Good work nk111!

but what's up with that feature? :-)

Sounds pretty cool
[HTC Desire S] nk111:
Yes. That works too! Just tested. It's a little bit tricky to get the desired brightness level but it works. Just touch the status bar. Wait a second a move to left or right. Brightness will be adjusted.

@all: You need to disable auto brightness in order to enable this setting.
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
Wow thanks mate!

has it been working all the time? Tested 2 days ago and it didn't seem working
[HTC Desire S] BeDesireS:
Does nobody else has issues with the voice search?
[HTC Desire S] odyon:
Hmm, I've installed the latest alhpa with 4ExtRecovery, but now my phone seems to hang on the white HTC screen. Any suggestions?

I did a factory rest, wiped all cache, and formatted /system. After i installed the .zip, should I have installed something else? boot.img or so?

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Yup, flash the boot.img via fastboot. You need to do this each time you flash a ROM
[HTC Desire S] meinnameisthase:
Got S-On? If so, you need to flash boot.img. If you have S-off, it should work. Compared the M5 checksum of the file?
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
I don't use our need that :-)
[HTC Desire S] chrisi100:
If you ask me the picture is still distorted with stock camera app :rolleyes:

With lgcamera the frontcam pics are not upside down :)
[HTC Desire S] Nexx:
New build posted, enjoy!
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
So, does preview work in face unlock?
[HTC Desire S] Nexx:
Not yet, no, but crashes involving the front camera are fixed and the camera code is being worked on by more than just nk111 and myself now. We're looking at getting the HAL added to CyanogenMod for all msm7x30 devices.
[HTC Desire S] Airpil:
Nexx, any news about phone encryption ?
[HTC Desire S] Tapur007:
Was Just downloading the ROM from the link posted by nk11 ... & there's a new post ! :D

Is it the same ? or do I need to redownload .... :o

Thanks !
[HTC Desire S] luky4:
Must be install gapps.
[HTC Desire S] cined:
Has the mic quality issue been fixed when using apps yet?
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
First, the ROM is great, smooth and responsive :)

I'm just missing the flashlight, don't really need it at the camera, but as torch.

Swifted from my Desire S far away from my PC
[HTC Desire S] hyperdude111:
You can download a flashlight app from the market, a couple don't work but most do.
[HTC Desire S] Nexx:
Airpil, I wanted to get this update out first because it fixed 2 major features. Can you give me exact steps to enable / disable phone encryption and where the issue is, then I'll get it fixed for the next release =)

We're still using the pre-compiled libs from Quattro RC3 for now, so nothing here should have changed yet I'm afraid. We're only using the pre-compiled libs because they are built using the gingerbread libaudio-msm7x30, hacked for ICS. I'd rather not mess up the source because it makes fixing the core issue troublesome =P

The phone should be capable of using the flash as a torch, but the CM app isn't included yet. No ETA on this one I'm afraid, it's down to the other devs.
[HTC Desire S] apx@dwx:
great, go on with your good work! :)
[HTC Desire S] hyperdude111:
Is anyone else not able to download apps from the market on the new version?
[HTC Desire S] Tapur007:
Works fine here ...
[HTC Desire S] hyperdude111:
OK thanks, I know it's just my problem then.
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
nexx, is there any difference from nk111´s leaked preview build?
[HTC Desire S] Kolo39:
I think nk111 has only included Face Unlock. Nexx fixed the points from changelog.
[HTC Desire S] flykthewiz:
read post 612, its not very far back! fc problems with front cam should be fixed, so there is difference
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
okay... but in nexx´s new version the camera pictures are distorted again. nk111 solved that problem.

back to nk111´s build now..
[HTC Desire S] Nexx:
Hmm, I'll check with nk111, it's possible I didn't pull in all his work, but I didn't think we'd solved the image corruption yet.
[HTC Desire S] nk111:
No. He didn't! And I should know it... ;)

Just one thing... if you really need a picture without glitches: sometimes it helps to open the cam settings where you can change the resolution and then take the picture with that settings dialog still displayed. I got some error free pictures with this method...
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
guys, i can trust my eyes and you can too. :)

in nk111´s release (from yesterday? im talking about his really last one) the picture distortion is definetly gone and the max resolution is 5mp instead of 4mp. and with nexx´s new release the problem appears again,max resolution 4mp and pictures distorted, thats for sure too. maybe i have done something different than you but i did everything exactly like explained and i never had any problem with my device at all.

now its your turn :cool:

Edit: btw im not talking about glitches, i still had some artefacts/glitches in the pictures WITHOUT distortion as well as WITH distortion

Edit2: if your really, really want i can state everything with screenshots, but that would take a lot of time, cause im flashing back to nk111´s release at the moment
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Strange i flashed nexx 1 on nk111 and my camera shows 5mp resolution and have clicked 20+ pics and absolutely no distortion...

Only thing different is gapps...am using inverted black ones...but that should have no effect...

So thats very strange...
[HTC Desire S] thedieselspaceship:
Ok, just confirm picture corruption. Please look at the picture in the attachment.
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
back to nk111´s build and flashed his faceunlock gapps too and picture distortion is gone...

in germany we would say: HERZLICHEN GLUECKWUNSCH NK111 for solving that problem without even knowing it :)
[HTC Desire S] nk111:
Everyone... this is gonna get funny! Nexx and I just asked ourselves what the hell we are really talking about here... so please explain what exactly do you mean with distortion?
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
verzerrte Bilder

Gestreckt im Querformat und gestaucht im Hochformat. Oder andersrum, spielt aber keine rolle.

Sorry for missing English, didn't know how to tell. He will understand me :-)

Google translator told me "verzerrt" means distorted in English
[HTC Desire S] hyperdude111:
Just an upload of distortion at the top when taking photos
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
There is the misunderstanding.

I am talking about pictures that are "stretched" or "pushed together" and you about glitches or artefacts.. Those glitches have never been solved for me, I even stated that I am not talking about them, right here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22427593&postcount=630

Edit: I just figured out that the problem is just in the preview, the pictures are not "stretched" :-) in the result. But anyways that is solved in nk111s version but not in the newest nexx's
[HTC Desire S] meinnameisthase:
Talking about graphical glitches: Not sure whether or not this is ICS/CM or Chrome related:

Happens when switching between tabs in Google Chrome (which I like a lot so far)
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Don't think it's related to Chrome. I've played some time with it and it's TABs just to see if I can reproduce the artifacts...nothing. Everything works smooth and clear as you can see in the attached print screen also. And I am on Virtuous "pre" RC4.
[HTC Desire S] robba16296:
On Virtuous rc3 also the pink bug (or something), so I also think rom related

Sent from my HTC Desire S
[HTC Desire S] nk111:
No glitches in chrome beta for me...
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
I have a pink background when opening a new tab. everything else works fine, also tab switching.
[HTC Desire S] hyperdude111:
I also get the pink background and other glitches with chrome beta.
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
The screen wakeup with volume buttons doesn't work anymore.or is there any option to activate it?

talking about latest release right now
[HTC Desire S] tankos:
Nexx has temporarily removed these features in this release. See the changelog in post 1. Looking forward to it's return - I'm missing the track skipping feature! :)
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
Already red the changelog, but I missed the last point.

Thank you
[HTC Desire S] nk111:
Is the pink background issue present in my build or nexx's? Could be something with adreno libs?!
[HTC Desire S] microlah:
I have used both your build and nexx's build with Chrome for a while now, never noticed any "pink tab" problem.
[HTC Desire S] Bewinxed:
Awesome

This is the first time that i try ICS haha i don't wanna go back but i'll be back once it becomes more stable :D

Chrome worked fine but something was wrong with USB tethering, worked first time then it won't work again even after restarting phone & PC.

also i noticed there wasn't any option to switch between 2G/3G networks, so i got stuck on 2G :( the notification pull-down menu button didn't work either.

anyways a great ROM and thanks for all your hard work, cheers~<3

your avatar is cute ouo
[HTC Desire S] BillGoss:
I'm on the latest build from nexx. The pink chrome happens here also. Here is what swiping between tabs looks like:
